account verification

I cannot access my account because the verification page says: "debit cards aren't allowed for verification purposes" (?!?)


This is the debit card I would have them bill me after the 7 day trial.


I no longer have a Macbook but want to watch a specific movie only through AppleTV.

If none of your payment methods are accepted , then consider using account balance. You may start a subscription with a bit of money (one billing cycle worth) in your Apple ID account balance. Then top-up when needed before the next due day. Your debit card may be accepted for adding money into this account.

If you are watching Apple TV+ on the web, then you may get asked for a credit card for verification, after subscribing. That would not be about payment, but about (age) restrictions and consent. Parental controls for Apple TV+ on the web - Apple Support
